Can I make the matcha hot?

Yes, this latte can be served both hot or iced! Just warm your milk either in a milk frother or on the stove. Pour it into your mug, add coconut syrup, whisked matcha, and stir.

Is matcha the same thing as green tea?

Yes, matcha powder is made of ground green tea leaves, but you can't use them interchangeably. Matcha is much more concentrated than a regular green tea bag, so it also has more caffeine.

Do I need a matcha whisk?

While it's best to use a matcha whisk to make the latte the traditional way, you can use a handheld milk frother instead if you're just starting out.

Coconut Matcha Latte

Description

This Iced Coconut Matcha Latte is creamy, nutty, and so easy to make! You can use a homemade coconut syrup or store-bought if you want to make it even easier. You only need 3 ingredients, and you can make it both hot or iced! Plus, it's dairy-free and gluten-free!

Ingredients

Units Scale

1 cup ice cubes
1/2 cup cashew milk (or almond milk, whole milk, or other milk)
1-2 tbsp coconut simple syrup
1 tsp ceremonial matcha powder
1/4 cup hot water

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Fill a tall glass with ice ¾ way up.
Pour your milk of choice and coconut syrup over the ice and set aside.
Sift your matcha through a fine mesh strainer into a bowl or a cup.
Add a splash of hot (not boiling) water and start whisking using a matcha whisk.
Add the rest of the water and whisk again. Alternatively, if you use a handheld milk frother, add all of the hot water right away.
Pour the matcha over the milk, stir, and enjoy!

Notes

If you want to use coconut milk, I recommend the one in a carton, not the one in a can. Canned coconut milk is way too thick for a latte like this one, and it would be too heavy.
